HOLDER FUR TELEPHONEMREBEIVERS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 672,388, dated April 16, 1901.

Application filed January 14, 1901. Serial No. 43.104. lNo model.)

To ctZZ whom, it may con/067%:

Be it known that I, CEBERT H. NEWHALL, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city and cou nty of Philadelphia,State ofPenn- Sylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Holders for Telephone-Receivers, of which the following is a specitication.

My invention consists of a device for holding or supporting the receiver of a telephone on the transmitter thereof so that the ear may be readily applied thereto, avoiding the sustaining of such receiver by hand.

It also consists of means for adjusting the device so that the receiver is applicable to ears at different heights, angles, and other requirements.

Figure 1 represents a perspective view of a holder for a telephonie receiver embodying my invention. Fig. 2 represents a vertical sect-ion thereof.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the iigures.

Referring to the drawings, A designates a telephone-stand adapted to be rested on a table or elsewhere, the same having a transmitter B supported thereon and being provided with the cut-oi and hook C for the reoeiver C', as usual in such cases.

D designates an arm which is connected at its lower end with the divided clip E and carries at its upper end the socket F, said clip being'adapted to embrace the column of the stand A and be retained thereon by means of the screw Gr, which passes through the end portions of said clip.

H designates a divided clip which is adapted to embrace the neck or shank of the receiver C,the ends of said clip having passed through them the screw or pin J, which is secured to the plug K, the latter being adapted to enter the socket F, it being noticed that said plug and the interior of said socket are of angular form, so that said plug may be interlocked with said socketand be prevented from improper turning. 1

It will be seen that the receiver may be hung on the hook C, as usual, and when service of the same is required it is raised from said hook and the plug K fitted in the socket F, thus supporting the receiver, it being evident that the ear may be placed on the receiver and, if desired, pressed closely thereagainst for the purpose of receiving the message, While avoiding the inconvenience and tiredness of holding said receiver by hand. The clip may be turned on the column of the stand so as to place the receiver in a desired position relatively to the transmitter B, and the clip H may be turned on the screw J so as to change the angle of the receiver to conform to the ear.

Inorder to adjust the height of the receiver, the arm D is formed of sections D D2, which are iitted to each other telescopically, whereby said arm may be lengthened or shortened, and thus vary the height ofthe clip H, and consequently of the receiver supported thereby.

W'hen service of the receiver is not required, it is raised,whereby the plug K leaves lthe socket F, after which the receiver may be hung on the hook C, as usual.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, ism

1. An arm provided at one end with a clip for attachment to a telephonic transmit-ter, and at the other end With a socket, in oombination With a clip adapted to be connected with a telephonie receiver and provided with a plug which is adapted to be removably seated in said socket.

2. An arm provided at one end with a clip for attachment to a telephonic transmitter,

and at the other end with a socket, in combination with a clip adapted to be connected with a telephonie receiver and provided with a plug which is adapted to be removably seated in said socket, said plug and the loore of said socket being of angular form.

3. An arm provided at one end with a clip for attachment to a telephonie transmitter, and at the other end with a socket, in combination with a clip adapted to be connected with a telephonie receiver and provided with a plug which is adapted to be removably seated in said socket, said arm being adjustable in length.

4E. A clip attachable to a telephonie receiver, a plug depending from said clip, and a screw passing through said clip into said plug, in combination with an arm attachable to a telephonic transmitter and provided with a socket into which said plug is adapted 'to be removably seated.

IOO

opposite ends of said arm, in combination with 1o a screw which is passed through the ends of the receiver-clip and connected with said arm and permits the rotation of said clip.
